Recommended Safety Equipment

• COMMON SENSE
• Beware of Pinch Points.
• The heated bed gets hot.
• The nozzle gets hot too.

Prior to each use

Verify

• X and Y belts are taut
• Filament loaded properly
• Print surface prepped: (PET with ABS solution for ABS printing/Bare glass for PLA/Garolite or cellulose based material for Nylon)
• Home all axes prior to using the manual movement controls

After each use

Clean

• Clean bed of any left over filament.
• If using personal filament reload the space filament and prime the nozzle by bringing it to temp and verifying extrusion.
• Home all axes
• Power off the printer using the power switch on the left hand side of the printer (for now)

Replace

Please leave a donation for any printer use. Filament costs on average $50 a kg (2.2lb) with shipping. Please leave a dollar or two for each hour the print takes. You can donate by giving cash to a board member, with paypal or with purchasing filament. Make a donation now. Please purchase reels for ease of use and stability. Coiled filament will work but can be a pain.
